I too would like to use Neo Euler for math but need some of the missing

complex as original euler already misses many shapes and neo euler is
work in progress
That is the reason for my question if the font fallback mechanism can
work for math fonts also (as it does for, e.g., using different fonts
for arabic and english). That will be much easier than building a
virtual font.
it's not that trivial as there are more dependencies and things like
extensible characters and accents and ....
Yes, but those are not necessarily needed.
(in fact, a virtual font has to be built, so it's then a wrapper around a
similar vf builder as we already have; one option is to extend the current
one with ranges)
Just having a basic fallback mechanism will be better than having no
fallback. For example Euler has no blackboard black, is missing some
arrows (not extensible ones, just regular arrows) and common symbols.
